Well, it's not as though he shouldn't have known better. This was done of course with markers, and the backgrounds took for-ever, especially the last panel, but it was surprisingly faster than when I do the coloring on the computer.
Thanks for all that visited Night School,, which has by the way updated today since I finished both pages. Once again, that comic doing well (hopefully because it's good, of course)will determine if CTV ever gets published, so help us out and give it a little attention? It would help boost CTV's update schedule too, because I'd be honestly more enthusiastic about the both of them. Not trying to make ya feel guilty or anything but I do see some complaining about me taking forever to update CTV, while Night School is updating more frequently in between CTV updates. It's not as though I'm sitting around having fun with video games when I should be updating…no, ‘cuz I’m working on comics! NS is the one getting published, and I have deadlines to meet, so sadly updating CTV quickly isn't the top priority. I'm working on 3 comics and the fourth, UIU, is sadly on hiatus for now. If I didn't love CTV so much it'd be on hiatus too while I try to get things done. Just bear with me while I try to work this out. I'm not burning out on comics, it's just that I'm under a lot of pressure right now, and taking a break isn't the right answer for me.
Also, before I go I want to say something important that has been…well, on my mind a bit. I just want you to know that your comments DO matter and I read every single one, and yes, I do notice when people haven't been around in a long time, and I guess I'm feeling a little melancholy at the absence of some old faces around here. Not to say that I don't love new commenters, ‘cuz you guys rock too! I just want you all to know that no matter how many people are here, it doesn’t diminish the impact or importance that your individual voice contributes to this comic. I would not have improved so much if not for helpful guidance. And I am proud that you guys have never made constructive comments feel unwelcome, and I hope that it continues this way. (Elsewhere I've seen too many people offering good advice only to have the author, and its fans, come down on them like rabid…boulders? For having an opinion that wasn't “kiss the artist's butt for he/she is perfect!”) I'm sure some people are thinking “you're nuts, you've got enough comments already!” but it's not a quantity issue…I'd just like to know who's there, and who's STILL there after all these years.
I guess what I'm trying to say to those I haven't seen in a while…. I MISS YOUSE! (and don't think I don't know when you're gone!) What I really need is to get in contact with everyone again. Sadly, dial-up does NOT help. Really, I notice this slump is due to me rarely having time to even read comics that I love, let alone new ones with large archives. Hopefully I'll be getting a faster internet soon. Hopefully…expect to see me around DD a lot more then. It seriously takes like 3 minutes to even look at a single page these days.
I'm really afraid of people growing bored of me, though…
well it looks great once again i wish i had half your talent for drawing and coloring.
ill always be a friend to you and try to support.
still congrats and send me an invitation
We could never grow bored of you Amy!
I hope you're able to get faster internet soon.
The page looks awsome, did you hand draw the sound effects too or add them in later?
Mannick looks a bit ... weird o.o
i think the shapes of the eyes makes him look more ' cartoony ' .. that was bad description, but like ooold cartoons. i better stfu since im bit tired.. welly well, ill go and hide in shame for a while
Wow.. that marker work looks absolutely AWESOME Amelius! Rabid jealousy over here :D
Aww, don't feel sad. I agree with Deraymou and ImToHot... we should dog-pile-group-hug you to show how much we care. And no worries about not updating Charby as often... Getting published is hard work and VERY stressful. I just hope you're nto working yourself to the point that your brain snaps.
Do things you need to, sweetie. We all love you and understand.
Deraymou is right EVERY ONE SHOW AMELIUS HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HER AND HER WORK. Lead a group of fans after Amulius to dog pill on her in on massive group hug to show we love and support her work
Personally speaking,I've been quiet here just because...I dunno what to say, really. Beyond that, it IS a bit daunting to see the impact of so-very-many-comments! ^^
In regards to today's page, I like seeing the variation in your artistic talents- whether it's computer colored, marker-colored, or even just black and white pencil sketch.
LOVE IT!!! =), I wish I could draw like you, I can't draw for beans. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching no matter how long it takes. I love this comic too much! Amazing job!
Haha, great job! I wish I knew how to use markers like you!
I'm not growing bored of you! Are you serious? I have read CTV for over a year and I can easily say it's still one of my favorite comics!
*internet hug* well, it might be close to my first time ever commenting, but i've been reading CTV for about a year now and i've been in love with it since the first page :) so im just showing some love to a great comic artist (including night school and UIU) ^^
Bored? Hardly. It makes my day to read the latest CTV. As for having the time to read your favorite comics, I understand completely. It is obvious that your comics take a lot of time to create. Everyone, I'm sure, knows this and appreciates it as much as I do. Keep up the great work, and rest assured that your loyal fans are still out there.
Great page, by the way. Love the marker work.
Oh my, I'm sorry I've stopped commenting. I still read each and every update obsessively, I just don't post because I don't have anything to say, and don't want to make a meaningless comment. And now I feel like an egotistical brat for pointing myself out. :P
BEAUTIFUL page, by the way. Hair so shiny...
I don't think that people are getting bored of you, as much as getting frustrauted by your lack of updates. Sometimes it takes you a little long, and it's such a good comic, I wish it could be updated every other day. But, you can only have so much of a good thing.

I need to know what materials you use. My markers just bleed on the paper.
miguelito3dp at 10:55AM, Aug. 31, 2007
its as good as the computer coloring....may i ask, which markers do you use? and HOW do you use them to get that?! awsome

Amy! You have one of THE best comics EVER. It rivals Bob and George as a great comic, and that's REALLY saying something.

I don't think you have to worry about people getting bored. Your comics rockl hard so don't even worry bout that. And awesome page by the way.

Looks good!
Deraymou at 8:46AM, Aug. 31, 2007
oh I forgot to mention The marker style looks really good! If its less work I'd say keep doing the background in marker, I like it more
Deraymou at 8:45AM, Aug. 31, 2007
Awe, Ames, how could we get bored of you? Quick! everyone! group hug for Ames!
